The deed is done. My first and only daughter is successfully installed at college.
At the last minute, she decided that the brothers should come to drop her off, so our six-pack family crammed into the Suburban with all her crap and headed south. It was pretty normal for the first 6 hours of the drive, jabbing, crabbing, laughing and snoozing. But as we headed into Kansas City, roughly 30 minutes from our destination, things turned. A quick slam of the brakes, due to road construction, sent her jewelry box flying. She swore a couple of times and started snapping at all of us. I knew it wasn't about the jewelry, but it set the tone for the rest of the day.
Ahh, the open road. Smell that country air... is that manure? Whether heading to Grandma's house or a long weekend, road trip season is upon us. What do you do to keep the kids entertained en route?
